Reason for revert:
This is going to break the LayoutTest inspector-protocol/console/console-let-const-with-api.html as seen in https://build.chromium.org/p/tryserver.v8/builders/v8_linux_blink_rel/builds/2247 . Please run this test manually, using instructions at https://www.chromium.org/developers/testing/webkit-layout-tests , and fix on the Chrome side if needed before resubmitting this patch.

Code like `let a; eval("var a;");` should throw a SyntaxError, not a TypeError
(this caused a test262 failure.). However, the code `eval("function NaN() {}");`
should actually throw a TypeError. This patch changes most cases of
redeclaration errors from TypeError to SyntaxError. See the test
mjsunit/regress/redeclaration-error-types for a thorough analysis with spec
references.
The relevant sections of the spec are ES#sec-globaldeclarationinstantiation and
ES#sec-evaldeclarationinstantiation
